Section of the SDSS spectrum of the z = 2.637 quasar SDSS J121822.83+083157.0 (‘QB’ in Fig. 2) located 109 arcsec west of Q 1218+0832 (‘QA’ in Fig. 2). Vertical lines indicate the expected positions of H I, Si IV, and C IV absorption lines at the redshift of the DLA, z = 2.2261. The inset shows a zoom-in on the region around Lyman-α. No significant absorption was detected at that redshift. The metal lines seen in the spectrum are from an associated z_abs > z_em system at z = 2.650.
